At least this isn't another reprint thread. But, it's a shame that Ebay has become a means for folks of questionable ethics to pull this kind of crap. The card is legit, but the seller is eluding to it being a heck of a lot more than it is.

Sorry if this is too o/t Leon, but it rubbed me the wrong way.

MOST of their ads are usually like this whether autographs or cards.

For such an "important" card you'd think he would take the time to photograph it on something other than the steering wheel of his car. And is that an ID of some knid on the floor? To hell with that T206, I think McNall and Gretsky missed the boat on this card.

I'm just glad no one here fell for the "I bought them for peanuts at a yard sale" E90-3s on ebay this week. Several went for $100+. The backs clearly show they are reprints/reproductions.

"It was deemed authentic less than a month ago!"

I bet this guy is a car salesman.

I can't believe it! Looks like Honus Wagner showing a kid how to roll tobacco up. What is this world coming to?

This seller auctions autographed items. It appears the autographs are genuine, and they are some nice items. However, each auction he has this incredible auction estimate-- like 20x higher than MastroNet would get on a good day. I could understand this for his first one or two autograph auctions, but after the 20th ball it's gotten lame. Obviously, he knows his estimates are goofy, and most everyone else knows their goofy-- so I don't know why he continues.

But the stuff itself seems legitimate, and that's half the battle.

Ah, the good ol' Shop at Home guys who are giving birth to a kitten with every deal. Yep, they were mildly entertaining.

Really, should anyone be giving bogus auction estimates to their own stuff on Ebay?
